Switch was just over 46 million after October, so sales might be a bit lower.Switch had massive price cuts at plenty of retailers, so despite the -3% in spending the unit sales would have seen a decent jump over last November. The 46.6m total means around 700k (45.9M after October).

They made a lot."PlayStation 5 Pro accounted for 19% of total PlayStation 5 units sold in the month and 28% of dollars. Launch month dollar sales of PlayStation 5 Pro were more than 50% higher than the November 2016 launch month sales of PlayStation 4 Pro, while units were 12% lower. "
How? It didn't sell out.

29% drop in Xbox Series spending despite COD
8% increase in non-mobile subscriptions, driven by COD
Doesn't look like COD had any impact on Xbox Series. Not that surprising, I guess. 8% bump in subs. Would be interesting to know how much of that was upgrades to GP Ultimate or new subscribers.

Holy crap @ Xbox! That's barely above what a normal month should be in November! Is this worse than the OG Xbox?
Aww, poor thing, hope your favourite piece of cheap plastic will succeed

Wow that's from 3,1M sold in Nov 2017 to 1,6M in Nov 2024 for Playstation + Xbox, with PS5 losing 500k sales and Xbox a whole million 
At this point i guess Sony will want to make this gen as long as possible (late 2028 for next gen), and MS will just want to end with this generation and probably not work on a console anymore, just some Steamdeck like stuff.
Software wise i'm still surprised at EA FC numbers lmao

Has America finally embraced soccer?
Already tried that tho. Series x at $350 and series s at $150 last year. It's just not in high demand at any price but this year there's been pretty limited price discounts for xbox. And with recent MS announcement regarding future Xbox plans there's less doubt this year on which console to choose.

I don’t know what it was like in the states but in Canada Microsoft had ZERO deals
If there was ever a year to be aggressive, it was this year - ps5 pro launched, switch is losing steam, you just have a massive game on your streaming service….this is when they should have done bundles, deals, price drops etc to move more units
Instead they did nothing and the Xbox brand continues to die by a thousand cuts

True, but from a consumer perspective I don't think there has ever been a console that so desperately needed a price cut as much as Xbox Series. I think the problem is Microsoft already losing money on the thing and don't want to go further in the hole. I'm guessing they know they are never going to build an install base large enough to justify the losses.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a huge failure for BioWare and EA. Number 6 in October, Number 10 in November, and not even Top 20 YTD. Considering budget and this being the game’s largest market, OUCH!

I loved the OG Xbox and the 360 and what MS did in those gens... and it's sad to see it go out like this. At least Sega left the hardware market with a great console and awesome games.

Results that were very easy to anticipate:
Xbox: (-29%) I even think that it has sold more than expected given the following.
-No notable offers.
-No promotion/marketing whatsoever.
-No XSX/S special console hardware revisions
-Compete vs a PS5 slim almost $100 cheaper and more options and bundles. Situations where PS5 slim was only $40 more expensive than 500GB XSS
-Compete vs a PS5Pro launch.
-"You don't need an XBOX console" campaign
-Announcement of more first party games on PS5.
Basically, MS doesn't care if they don't sell more consoles and lose more market share. They only make sure they don't lose money per console with promotions.
Last year NOV was also zero in offers and then in December great offers were made and this was reflected in huge sales. This year December is worse than November in terms of offers.
I stopped understanding the meaning of what the leaders of MS/Xbox do and think a long time ago.
PS5: (+15% dollars) . I don't know, those really are figures that generate debate.
-PS5Pro launch month that costs ~$700. Numbers below PS4Pro (understandable for the price)
-Very good PS5 offers and promotions -Xbox Debacle
At least they can say that they are number 1 and that the hardware works healthily in a console market that not only does not grow but is even decreasing. We will have to see the coming months and how PS5Pro evolves in sales.
Switch: (-3%) Well, incredible results for a hardware that expects a replacement in a few months and that sells software by the ton.... More than healthy sales at the end of its cycle for a hardware that competes against itself.

That’s only if they WANT to increase their hardware presence. Microsoft clearly doesn’t think there is any benefit to taking more losses on XSX hardware. If anything this report is a good excuse for them to scale down efforts on the console space. The writing has been on the wall the last couple years.

Xbox still has a cheaper console than the PS5 Slim
Subscriptions grew 8 % in total..that includes every non-mobile subscription.. that's not a lot..

Moderated wildly
MS has given up on consoles it seems.
Great performance from the other two at least.

8% increase for all non mobile subscription means the increase in Gamepass was much bigger than 8%. We just don't know how much bigger.

In November, the 1Tb PS5slim was only $30-$40 more expensive than the XSS 500GB..... I don't think we need to argue about the importance of product value.
